Tu Du Hospital Midwife Training
Ho Chi Min City, Vietnam
 
Tu Du Hospital offers midwife training to help reduce high neonatal death rates in Vietnam. Johnson & Johnson supports a training program for midwives in 32 cities in rural areas. The program also includes a train-the-trainer component that significantly increases the number of midwives reached.
